Having suffered severe casualties, the infantry were driven back, and as a last resorts -with approval from Delhi-tanks were ordered in. The Akal Takht was virtually reduced to rubble. Its is doubtful if Mrs Gandhi would have initiated Operation Blue Star had she known how bloody and devastating would be the consequences of that 24- hour conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Tully \u0026 Satish Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16344972361841,"sku":"RUP-110","price":265.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/1-244.jpg?v=1539368368"},{"product_id":"the-heart-of-india","title":"The Heart of India","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Tully\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003ePenguin Random House India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eImprint: \u003c\/b\u003ePenguin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished Year: \u003c\/b\u003e14-Oct-2000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages: \u003c\/b\u003e256\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-meta\" itemprop=\"brand\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Group: \u003c\/b\u003eAdult\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than twenty years Mark Tully was the BBC Chief of Bureau in Delhi and his name and his voice became synonymous with the country he had made his home. For years he sent back dispatches interpreting the subcontinent to the outside world, but the 'truth' of India is remarkably resistant to reportage. Imbued with his love for the country and informed by his vast experience, Mark Tully has woven together a series of extraordinary stories. All the stories are set in Uttar Pradesh and tell of very different lives. Of a barren wife who visits a holy man and subsequently conceives-but is it a miracle or something more worldly? Of a son's carefully laid plot to take revenge against his father's murderer, with a surprising twist when his case comes to court. Of a daughter, persuaded by her friends to spurn an arranged marriage, whose romance ends in blackmail. Of a man's inability to overcome the conventions of caste and go into business, which leads to his wife breaking purdah and taking control of the family. In these and in other stories, Mark Tully delicately probes the nuances of life in India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Tully","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21379439886449,"sku":"PRH-1116","price":315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/9780140179651_964bc7f4-7c18-435e-b288-f5c8f5c300c4.jpg?v=1554816513"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/mark-tully\/age-group_adult.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
